AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your flight status by phone since there is minimal live departure-board infrastructure.
Arrive well before any scheduled charter as ground handling is manual and staffing is limited.
There are no dining or retail facilities, so bring your own food and water.
If flying by private aircraft, coordinate directly with the flight school or FBO for ground handling.
Do not expect standard airline rebooking desks — any itinerary changes require calling the operator directly.
